What reviewers say about the Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer 11-in-1, 6 Quart
Two whitelisted outlets reviewed the Instant Pot Duo Crisp and Air Fryer 11-in-1 hands-on. TechRadar tested the 8-quart size of this model; Tom's Guide covers and prices both the 6-quart and 8-quart. Both praise pressure cooking but fault the air fryer for soggy or overcooked fries, and both flag the appliance's bulk and mushy steamed vegetables.

Where reviewers disagree Little cross-source disagreement — both converge on strong pressure cooking and a weak air fryer. Key caveat: neither is a lab benchmark of the exact 6-quart unit. All of TechRadar's measured figures (78 dB release, exterior/lid temps, preheat times) come from the 8-quart 1200W variant, so the 6-quart's lower 850W could yield different preheat and release results — treat those numbers as 8-quart data.

The chicken was very moist and fell off the bone after cooking and the curry was cooked as we expected.
the air fryer didn't live up to our expectations, producing soggy fries
The broccoli was overcooked and mushy
Steam function preheat time: 7 minutes · Air fry preheat time: ~2 minutes · Saute browning time: ~5 minutes
the Instant Pot Duo Crisp and Air Fryer performed well when pressure cooking meat stews
Although the fries were evenly cooked, I found them to be overcooked and too crunchy.
the majority of beans were overcooked with a soft and soggy texture
